The program, organised at Aarohan Center in B Block Malviya Nagar, New Delhi was attended by eminent personals from social work, media, advertising, business etc. The program, which was planned to be organised at a bigger level in Central Delhi, was downsized due to the fear and restrictions related to the Corona Virus outbreak.
